John Bolton claims Trump will talk to Putin about election interference, while downplaying Kremlin responsibility.

.@AmbJohnBolton tells Chris, President Trump will raise question of meddling in summit with Putin, adds: “I’ll tell you what President Putin said to me, through the translator of course, that – she said ‘there was no meddling in the 2016 election by the Russian state.'” pic.twitter.com/09D2KkWSg6

National security adviser John Bolton said Sunday that President Trump and Russian Vladimir Putin will discuss “a full range of issues,” including election meddling when the two leaders meet this month.

“I expect it will be somewhat unstructured, but it will give them a chance to go over some of these issues free of the pressure of immediate deadlines or crises,” Bolton said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“In establishing that line of communication the president has very much in mind he wants to understand the Russian position and perhaps, more importantly, he wants Vladimir Putin to understand our positions,” he added.

“What president Putin said to me, through the translator of course, that she said there was no meddling in the 2016 election by the Russian state,” Bolton said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“So I think it still raises the question, I think the president will want to have a conversation about this and say we don’t want to see meddling in the 2018 election,” he added.

Wait, so because Putin denies having anything to do with the meddling, THAT is enough to raise doubts?
